An Organized and Orderly Home ~ Inspirational & Printable Helps

Along with spiritual resolutions, the new year often brings practical ones. We are sharing some posts from the past to get your dwelling place in order. A fresh new start will give you a great feeling. Take a few minutes each night when the children are sleeping and slowly make your way to an organized home...

One doesn't need mounds of money to make a beautiful abode, but a few moments to streamline and organize everything into its proper place. An orderly home filled with love is the prettiest of all homes.

I love this. About 2 years ago, I went through and did what I called 'cleaning to the corners.' I got rid of so much! I have just begun round two:) We have taken part in 3 yard sales within the last 5 years and will probably have another this spring/summer. (I'm talking furniture, appliances, etc. not just little things.) It is amazing how much 'stuff' we acquire - some by choice and some not. It is so much easier to organize when we don't have all the extras. Your storing labels for the shop/garage boxes are brilliant. Big and clear:) Thank you for sharing. It is getting much better out there, but I don't have all the clear plastic totes labeled. Now, I am anxious to get those labeled.You are amazing! Have an absolutely beautiful day.Smiles

Thanks for sharing all your tips in this well-organized post! ;) I woke early with a mind to start list making for the organizing to happen here next week after family goes back home. With new years day coming mid-week next week, we're not starting lessons back up until Jan. 6 which gives us plenty of time to reboot -- something I'm really looking forward to. Hope your Christmas was filled with all things wonderful, JES! A happy 2014 to you. :)

What a great round up of resources. We are reassessing out housekeeping routine, so I will check some of these out. I'd love to have you link up with Tuesday Greens when it returns next week. Have a wonderful weekend!

Another great post with great printables. It is the time of year for organizing and you have such skillsThanks for such a great post and for sharing it over at Farmgirl Friday.Dolly www.hibiscushouse1.blogspot.com

Perfect ideas! I love the timing with the new year! I'd love for you to share it over at Country Fair Blog Party, a once a month link up, it would be perfect for us! Jan http://www.thetipgarden.com/2015/01/country-fair-blog-hop-january-15.html

Welcome! A little introduction… I am an old-fashioned, Bible-believing, wife to my "one and only" for 20 years, homeschooling mother, who embraces her role as "keeper at home". We live on a 25-acre prairie farm.For fun… my three main earthly weaknesses (in no particular order) are coffee, dark chocolate and hardcover books. What about you? My hope is that this blog will inspire you in the arts of homemaking, homeschooling and homesteading. Visit here for 10 random facts about me... Have a beautiful day! ~ JES

"The woman who makes a sweet, beautiful home, filling it with love and prayer and purity, is doing something better than anything else her hands could find to do beneath the skies. A true mother is one of the holiest secrets of home happiness. God sends many beautiful things to this world, many noble gifts; but no blessing is richer than that which He bestows in a mother who has learned love's lessons well, and has realized something of the meaning of her sacred calling."

"She (the godly wife and mother) is a mighty warrior queen who fights righteous battles at her husband's side and reigns with him over the home and domain God has given them as they work together for Christ's eternal Kingdom and glory."

"There is nothing in the daily routine of the family life that is unimportant. Indeed, it is ofttimes the things we think of as without influence that will be found to have made the deepest impression on the tender lives of the household." ~ Excerpt from The Family

“And there are my children! My darling, precious children! For their sakes I am continually constrained to seek after an amended, a sanctified life; what I want them to become I must become myself."
